I’ve been blessed with a good crew in my room today. The scrub tech is a funny bastard and has had me cracking up all day. He’s training the daughter of one of my favorite OR nurses and I’ve had him stand back and let her take over. Feels good to give her added responsibility and advance the learning. On case #4 and things are going well.

My heads about it explode. Reading stories of asshole democrats going to try to pass a law that the Constitution forbids them to write, forcing companies to provide abortifacients under the guise of ‘women’s healthcare’.

F*ckers. After the fact life taking is not healthcare.

And then a bunch of ‘pro-choice’ pastors are handing out condoms outside Hobby Lobby. SRSLY? WTF aren’t they handing out Plan B or IUDs since that is what the issue is about….not condoms, which are free, from the taxpayer, at Planned Parenthood.

Leon, those were my resident days which are ancient history. Her mom has one biological kid who is a nurse and adopted two AA kids. The boy is going to my alma mater on a full basketball scholarship and the girl, his biological sister, is in school for being a scrub tech. Just nice people all around which is rare these days.

Leon, the power rack seems like a tall order from space, and more importantly, spousal approval perspective. With a bar and plates, I can start deadlifts, and squats with smaller weights. I can do bench presses on the Weider.
Once I can prove that I can stick to it, the spousal unit might approve something as big and weird as a power rack.

If they did, you wouldn’t want one. Rippetoe would disagree, but I think the deadlift is more important than the squat, and a lot easier to learn. If you can do that, bench, and maybe chins or some kind of a pull up, you’ll be fine.

I’m actually planning to switch to an all- or nearly all-bodyweight routine for a while. I’ve hurt my left shoulder twice this year, and I don’t want to risk my rotator cuff. The only barbell lift I can’t see letting go of is the deadlift, though I may still take some time off from it. The “shoulder” issue could actually be a bicep tendon problem, and I don’t want to take the risk.

Is AA a rating? or do they have substance abuse issues?

Checking out Miss van der Velden reminded me of the time my wife and I were hanging out with a bunch of her old friends from college. We were playing some game where you had to give clues and the other players had to guess the word.

When it was my turn to give the clues, the word was “cleavage”. So I said “Girls with big boobs have this”.

Pepe, AA as in black kids which was mainly for context of why they weren’t my illegitimate spawn. I couldn’t care less about their race other than remarking its tough to keep a low profile in Maine if you’re anything but a cracker.

Not really. Fertility is a state of health and vitality. Chemicals that alter that for any reason aren’t — by definition — health care. They are enabling an activity that — in a healthy state — has a very different potential outcome.

Women take birth control to transform a potentially procreative act into entertainment. The chemicals released by the brain when we experience sexual desire and fulfillment are the same as those released in response to any number of narcotic substances, the only real difference from the brain’s perspective being the toxicity of the drug.

You said BC was a lifestyle drug like cocaine and ecstasy.

Those drugs are not lifestyle drugs. Proactive and Rogaine are lifestyle drugs. The two couldn’t be more different.

You make a good case why BC could be considered a lifestyle drug, although I prefer the world to be seeded with slutty chicks. SWIDT?

Okay, solid point. Rogaine is a better comparison from one perspective. I was thinking of it from the pleasure-seeking angle, though, so I stand by that.

Defining BC as something other than health care won’t change that one bit. The drugs will stay cheap and legal regardless, I just see no reason for health insurance to cover them at all, and I think I’m making a decent case.

Virtually every person I’ve ever met enjoys sex as a form of entertainment. It’s not purely procreation for people, it’s also a social activity between people. Taking steps to mitigate the associated risks seems like a good idea to me.

I think I’ve met asexual people. It’s also possible that they had just passed out.

I understand that pregnancy has a profound affect on one’s health. Two, counting the baby. If I were a health insurer, I would rather pay for my clients to have the pill than to pay for all the costs that come with a pregnancy. It makes good business sense.

My Neva piggie, at about 5-6 months old (the size of a baby bunny), was separated from George by a wire grid. She somehow got herself caught in one of the spaces as her tummy was too round. We had to push her back through. Grids are a smaller than the space in a chain link fence. o_O

There I was completely wasting, out of derp and down
All inside it’s so frustrating as I drift from town to town
Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
So I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Mare’s Musings

February 18, 2018

I’ll tell you, I had to turn the Olympics off last night. The gay overload with the gay flags and gayness and the gay skier and the all about gay was too much for me. How does being gay have ANYTHING to do with skiing unless you’re purposefully landing on a pole?
